wouldn't surprise me if she's not going to continue to sing anymore

she's not a singer to begin with since I 1st know her as an actress & model . Singing is something that she does on the sideline

if so , it was fun while it lasted

I think she needs to rebuild a reputation for herself first, see if people still are interested in her before she takes more risks by releasing music. But I'm sure she'll eventually release new stuff, it might take some time, but she's slowly getting there.

Rumor has it that she'll be back into the studio sometime soon. Seems like Kami Kaoru is taking care of her comeback song. :P

She just released an album last year, y'all are acting like she's been gone for over a decade

I guess it shows how much people care about her or like her songs? :P

Ok, let's be sincere... I guess everybody is worried because of the whole shotgun marriage drama and the amount of rumors around the couple. Japan is unconventional... Some singers managed to rise to the stardom again just like Namie Amuro and some others just fade away like Leah Dizon (bad example, I guess, but still).

That's it. Sorry for my bad english lol!

I think she could release another mini-album, then flop, and then a best album.
Her future is obviously in the dramas and CM's

Took the following photos of Kuroki earlier on when I went out to have lunch with my family >_<

:love

still unusual for me to have Meisa as Kate representative. I'm more used to the people like Mika Nakashima or Kimura Kaela. she's like, a way too 'not strange' to advertise it lol

She looks gorgeous, as usual, but I want new music from her T_T
I listened to her a few days ago and I miss her so bad :(

Jin and Meisa in "Josei Seven"

It's disgusting what magazines will do/write to sell , what a load of rubbish :eviltongu

there still might be some truth to that
the one I always pity is the poor baby

ironically after their shotgun marriage , Akanishi's reputation was hit the hardest & not Kuroki

even though SMAP's Takuya Kimura's marriage was also shotgun , his reputation was not damaged until this extent on what Akanish has faced

can't say I feel sorry for him especially after what he has done to KAT-TUN but I definitely feel sorry for their kid who has to endure this

I bought the Japan press of LOL ! (CD only) just now at HMV

http://i50.tinypic.com/k0lylj.jpg

And no your eyes are not playing tricks in that I bought it completely brand new at S$4.90 :thud

From S$26 to S$9.90 & now S$4.90 , how often do you see this from happening ? The answer is probably like never if not never gonna happen xD

Anyway , Kuroki looks amazing in the CD sleeves & back cover of LOL ! *___*

Seems like she'll be releasing something new in about a month according to rumors. Yay!

digital single?

I hope it's true! I NEED something new from her <3

i really hope meisa will release a new song!

Physical single but anything can happen, you know. Remember about Wired Life / UPGRADE U! -> Wired Life.

Meisa Kuroki To Play As A Female Samurai In The Stage Play "Tomoe Gozen"

idk I mean, it's not like she's ami suzuki or something. She was always an actress.

I 1st knew Kuroki as an actress prior to her branching to singing , just saying :shrug

In fact , I did considered not to give her singing career a shot as I was skeptical on whether will she sound good or bad

She's giving up? wow. hope she has fun raising her baby.

She was always an actress before a singer...not that big of a deal

I don't think that this means she's giving up but it's pretty inevitable considering how poor her sales were

Such a shame, she had such good music

I don't think it means she's giving up, just that she's focusing on something else for now. She always said that music made her happy so I still have faith she'll eventually come back someday. Her sales weren't that bad anyways, some artists do much worse and still release music.

I like it too, but at least let her try to get some of her fame back and then she can release music again.

What do you mean she's giving up?

doing a stageplay takes more time if not effort , unlike acting . At least for acting , if you made a mistake , you still can do NG takes

but for stageplay , everything must run smoothly from start til finish . You can't afford to make mistakes & if you do , you have to improvise on the spot should that happen

maybe after this stageplay ends , she will revert back to do music again ?

Meh, she would have ended up on the thelma aoyama/yuna ito train anyway. better quit while you're (semi) ahead.

why do you even compared Kuroki with Yuna and/or Aoyama in the 1st place ? o_O

Kuroki's starting roots in the industry was in acting , NOT singing . Singing was something she always has been doing on the sideline

Let alone , all the while her popularity has been considerably OK . Not like Yuna and/or Aoyama where both of them had their peak period in popularity

Also , she's still in relatively good in demand . If not , why wouldn't she even bother to do a butai right now ? she could have stayed at home & be a full time mum to care for her daughter , rather than leaving all that to her useless good for nothing husband

^Regardless of where they started, it's my opinion that that's where she would have ended up...not saying it to talk ****, just being real.

New KATE CM for Autumn and Winter 2013 Collection



Making of the CM

Gorgeous! If only the CM had a Meisa song :bawl

And when I was in taiwan, my dad kept saying "who is she? She's so pretty" whenever her KATE CMs came on :laugh

Everytime this thread gets bumped I always hope it's because there's a new single announcement or something :(

unfortunately I'm not expecting her to release any new music for quite a while especially since next month she will be so busy with her new butai Tomoe Gozen

who knows maybe after that she might head back to the studio to do some new recording ? that's if some music inspirations kicked in back into her

That scene with the diamond in her mouth is amazing :thud The whole thing could have turn into an amazing PV btw hahahahha

I'm okay with her taking a break from music for a while cuz it gives me chance to save up and buy all her past stuff :laugh

LOL her discography can be still quite considered small if not easy to manage for the time being xD

CTFU! New FF XV character announced!

Jin clarifying things regarding his and Meisa’s marriage

I couldn't resist & took a photo of Kuroki just now at Watsons

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BSbpnQDCMAANCtr.jpg

:love

please come back soon with something new , music wise >__<

oh at least it wasn't a shotgun wedding lol

happy 1st birthday Akanishi Theia !

Man watching this somewhat depressed me , I can't believe she didn't release anything this year , music wise

I wonder if it's ever possible for her to release new again in 2014 ?

I hope to one day see this thread be bumped because there's new music announced

I miss her public appearances

That CM is gorgeous. :luv2

Kanebo Kate always impressed me the most with their elaborate CM's over other Japanese/Asian cosmetic brands. :yes

Meisa looks really gorgeous in that CM for Kate.

girl knows how to keep flawless

lol stop bumping this thread if it isn't music related. Her CMs don't have new songs and I ain't got time for Japanese television shows. Getting my hopes up just to disappoint me in the end.

Are Meisa Kuroki and Jin Akanishi getting a divorce?

http://entertainment.xin.msn.com/en/...vorce#scpshrtu

Does this surprise me ? No because their marriage was a shotgun to begin with but I can't help but feel sorry for their daughter the most :x

I dont think thats true, Jin is 100x times more rich than Meisa, its impossible that he has no money

^OMG she looks amazing!!

http://i61.tinypic.com/2qbhbm9.jpg

:love

Ugh I was listening to her music yesterday. She needs to come back to the music industry. I wish her luck with the movie though.

Everyone all thought that after her shotgun marriage with Bakanishi Akanishi Jin that her career would be over for good but that's not the case

I still hoping that she will release new music although I don't know if she might do it again as she was 1st known as being an actress/model in the very beginning but I'm still hoping it might happen

Can this bitch snatch Nao'yam or whatever his name is again from namie and deliver another Wired Life

^Nao'ymt. I could never figure out how to pronounce his name. "Now-impt"?

lol YESS I need new Meisa music!!

Not just him but mochA as well to write lyrics and help compose!

Official movie trailer for Lupin The Third starring Oguri Shun , Kuroki + others



The movie opens in Singapore on 16th Oct

Lupin III looks soooo cool I wish it would be shown in the theaters over here... :/

Can you recommend me some movie/serie she has done?

I want to see Lupin III, looks amazing!

I haven't watched everything, but I would recommend:

1 Pound no Fukuin (my first ever Meisa drama, just hilarious)
Ninkyo Helper (pretty famous, I liked it but not my favorite but most people enjoyed it a lot)
Jiu
Shiawase ni Narou yo (♥)

And I would add Black President that's currently airing, I'm still in the process of watching, but it's really good so far.

As for movies, I've seen a few but I don't remember any... except Subaru which was really good! I would add Tada, Kimi o Aishiteru but she's not one of the main characters.

One Missed Call 3! That was the first time I saw Meisa and was so impressed with her character.

@Utena: I'll see Dance Subaru and then I'll see more what you've recommended me.

@NintendoHTF1242: OMG I didn't know she did a horror film. It's necessary to see the 1&2 films for understand?

Thank you!

oh yeah forgot that one, definitely recommended!
If you're familiar with the concept, you don't need to watch the 2 first I think

Ok, yes I know it! thanks ^^

I don't know if I can doble post... sorry

I saw Dance Subaru and was cool, I liked a lot! And BoA, Go Ara, DBSK, Kumi <3 All were surprise for me hahaha

Anyone knows where can I download 1st Solo Live Attitude 2010? (I can't jpopsuki ^^ I don't want torrent) I wanted this a year ago but I couldn't find.

Thanks~~

Surprisingly , 70% of the movie the cast spoke in English with a bit of Cantonese dialect + Chinese throw in the mix

Lupin III was shot in Singapore , Thailand , Hong Kong & of course Japan

Overall she said the movie was very funny
